You miss the point,
BIK.
Many Aussies have EU citizenship, it is eminently possible that those contracted could be Aussies with EU passports (in fact I am told that that is exactly the case).
Sadly for
hugmonster, the law sees an Aussie with a EU passport as a national of that EU country as well. Thus it is highly likely that some "Australians" (in effect, "Brits") might get jobs ahead of some "Brits". Don't blame me, that's the law!
